A Close Look at the Fantasyland Expansion Model


As you know, the New Fantasyland Forest is now officially open for Cast Member Previews, and they will soon also start admitting Annual Passholders, DVC Members, D23 Members, and finally regular park Guests. That said, there are still some areas of the Forest that will not open to the public until 2013 (Princess Fairytale Hall) or 2014 (the Seven Dwarfs Mine Ride).

There is actually one place where you can preview these attractions, but on a much smaller scale. We are talking about the New Fantasyland model that was installed in May 2012 inside the "Walt Disney: One Man's Dream" exhibit of Disney's Hollywood Studios. Take a close look at this model:
